E-mail setup in Nokia E72

Hi am having problem with setting up gmail on my e72. i followed the setup wizard for mail setup for my gmail account. but i am not receiving any mails. my gprs is working. as i am able to browse internet and visit sites on the phone browser. i also tried giving incoming mail server as pop.gmail.com and outgoing mail server as smtp.gmail.com and access point is selected as vodafone live! which i use for my browsing purpose. can any one tell me what could be the issue.
do i need to have a packet data gprs connection?

hi venom_f1
as asdivsed in this forum for setting up email on e72, i tried everything, used gprs deleted my wifi acccess point.
finally i have downloaded emoze application from ovi store, its free , i have setup 3 accounts with it, it works fine. at side even i try to setup nokia email , but it dosnt.
i will advise you to use emoze temperory or else you will get upset with your handset.
i think there is a issue with nokia email server, just let us wait to get resolve.
cheers.

E-mail setup on Nokia 5530

I can't seem to set up my e-mail account on my 5530. I know that you have to go to e-mail setup wizard, I type in my e-mail and my password (it's a Windows hotmail account by the way) and it comes up with POP3/IMAP4 and Mail for Exchange. I haven't got a clue what either of these mean. If I click on mail for exchange, it wants a username, what usename? If I click on POP3/IMAP4 it also asks for a username, but with this option a username is already there, it's my e-mail address. So I click OK. I then have to choose a mailbox type POP3 or IMAP4. After I choose this, it wants an Incoming Mail server, what's that! I type in something random, and It leads me to security, then outgoing mail server (which is already filled in) then security again, and then it's done, but it doesn't work. I need help knowing what POP3, IMAP4 and Mail for exchange are, what incoming mail server is, what my username would be, and generally just how to make this work!

Right.
Firstly you user name is your server LOGIN name.
It cost me more time than I care to mention before I learned that.,
Get your server details from accounts in your e mail account.
This should also tell you if you have a pop3 or IMAP4 account.

Nokia e72, gmail setup + syncing contacts and cale...

My objective was to
1) get my contacts into the phone from this account, as I had on my old windows mobile device
2) set up my gmail account on my new nokia e72
1) getting contacts from gmail into the phone.
Go here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
and carefully do whatever is instructed.
*This works for calendar also (I assume you will want your google calendar to come into the phone, and sync thereafter. But all-day entries on google become 24 hour entries, modified by your timezone (eg xyz birthday, 15 mar 2010 5.00 am to 16 mar 2010 5.00 am). Otherwise the calendars seem to sync ok therafter (didn't spend much time there).
*This does not work for tasks. (read the google sync instructions carefully for nokia. but not for tasks, or for email bodies (though email headers sync, and you can probably create and send, and delete etc your email on the phone)
*This does not work email either, ie you can see the message headers, but can't see the bodies of emails on the phone.
The explanation for this I found after much digging is that Mail for Exchange on Nokia is actually meant for Microsoft ActiveSync servers, and Google is providing limited sync facilities using this ....system. (correct me if I'm wrong). See the datasheets on Nokia Europe websites about Mail for Exchange.
Over all, a pity, but you can't blame Nokia. As for Google (in whose hands further improvement lies for MFE playing nice with google mail), I hope, and believe they will make things better here (unless they lose their interest in it like they did with google gears).
2)Now getting your email from gmail into your nokia E72: Here Nokia is at fault, and a serious deficiency. I went to email setup in the menu's and started the wizard to create a new account. It seemed to have preconfigured setups for common email providers like gmail, yahoo etc. I started the gmail set up wizard, keyed in my username and password, then waited 5 seconds, and the screen went back to the previous one. This kept repeating, every time I tried. Tried everything: checked internet connectivity (wifi), closed all other apps including the MFE I had set up earlier, switched off and on the phone, everything short of standing on my head. So what works? How do you set up a personal gmail account on your nokia e72? go here:
http://www.techniqx.com/2010/02/workaround-for-configuring-gmail.html
(I paste that text here in case that page is removed:
"The email software in Nokia E72 still has lots of bugs. To configure your Gmail account, it’s not as easy as selecting Gmail and entering the credentials. That simply won’t work as there is a bug. Instead, workaround is to select “Other” and enter a false id like [email protected], this will take you to the next page to select the type. Select “POP/IMAP”. Now, you will get an option to enter your credentials and modify advanced settings. Here change your email id back to [email protected] and enter the credentials as mentioned here> (the gmail site for imap manual setup):
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
And you have gmail set up. Quite inelegant process of setting up gmail on this nokia phone, I would say.
Nokia, please iron out the bugs and inconsistencies in your flagship models' primary functions. Otherwise the phone functions very well, the interface is nice and attractive. And while the bugs are still there, please put up the limitations and the workarounds if any prominently. Nobody expects 100 % perfection.

I had a number of problems setting up Google Apps with my E72 phone. Mail, Calendar and Tasks were not syncing.
Mail
I have spent far too long setting up google apps to sync properly with my new E72 (latest software installed). It really is a superb phone but if Nokia is not going to fully support integration with Google Apps with a simple app then Android and Blackberry will simply take over for Apps users. It really isn't up to Google to solve this its up to Nokia. Are we going to move from Google Apps or change our phones????
I have gmail and business google apps accounts and both are now syncing properly with what seems to be pretty good Nokia email software on the phone. This is allowing me to receive, send, view attachments, view sent mail etc. Here are the steps I took from the beginning. Its a repeat of some of the good advice above which helped me on my long journey!
1. Enable IMAP for the google accounts. Couldn't get anything to work otherwise.
2. Follow this instruction https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78887
3. The inbox should now be working however you now need to map the other folders you want to see on your mobile. While at your inbox go to >settings>mailbox settings>what to sync>folder subscriptions.
4. Click on Gmail and highlight the folders you want to see
5. Go back to your inbox and go to the dragdown list of folders and highlight 'More Folders'. Under 'Gmail' you will find your sent items along with attachments etc. Problem solved. Its not a pretty solution but at this stage like me you just want something that works.
Calendar
This was a nightmare and I am now running a third party app called Googasync which is working fine. In 10 days time I will need to buy this so if someone knows how to setup calendar syncing properly without it please let me know.
Tasks
Googasync will not sync Tasks and I don't know if there is any app out there that will. If someone can help please let me know. Surely this should be pretty simple!?!?!
By the way I mailed Nokia support last Thursday on the above but have not received a reply other than to tell me that Google Apps is 3rd party software and not supported. Nokia needs to wise up.
In summary its a great phone and I've moved from a Blackerry Bold to it but I shouldn't be spending days finding workarounds!!

Nokia E72 IMAP mail problems

Cross posted from here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=680673#post680673
Yeah, E72 e-mail client needs real work if it wants to be a competitor with iPhone 3GS (two of which I own) and Blackberry.
So far, I found these problems with it:
1. The e-mail client should be able to display all IMAP folders. Currently there is no option to do that. This is a major functionality problem. In fact, displaying all folders available on the IMAP server should be the default. Instead, the client offers the folders that don't exist at all - silly choice indeed (for instance, I get a choice to see "Sent Items", which doesn't exist on any of my IMAP servers).
2. If large number of IMAP folders is selected, e-mail client won't work any more (becomes frozen for lengthy periods of time) and may even corrupt mailbox setup (in my case, it renamed two of my mailboxes to the same name - it just called them Email). Note, it didn't corrupt my mail - it corrupted mailbox setup on the phone. Essentially, mail doesn't work after large number of folders have been subscribed to. The client keeps connecting/disconnecting and eventually gives up.
3. There is no selection for sent folder. This is a critical feature for any IMAP client. It would be nice if drafts could be selected too, but that's not critical.
4. IMAP IDLE is not implemented properly. There are a number of selections as to when to poll the IMAP server, but that is not proper push e-mail support. There should be an option for the client to keep the connection open all the time and reopen it if/when it goes down. Currently, it is impossible to have "always on" IMAP IDLE support. Which then means that e-mail delivered to IMAP server will not be picked up by the phone for many minutes.
5. Email, if configured, should start when the phone is rebooted. As of now, it doesn't, which means that even if one configures polling for e-mail and the phone is rebooted, the mail will not be picked up.
My Nokia E72 is E72-2, software version 021.024.237.02.
PS. Can someone smack Nokia Australia support people around the ears for replying with utter nonsense to customers' questions, please? It's annoying when real bugs get reported and people that have no idea what the problem is (let alone the solution) reply with garbage.

Hi all what a nice discussion on e 72 issues and I hope Nokia developers also work like users.
I have 5 e mail accounts configured g mail,yahoo,hotmail,ovi and my company account which is gmail apps . Except for gmail nothing seems to work .
First of all for email to be successful like BB push mail should work automatically . That is whenever one gets connected to net mails should down load as per parameters set . This is not happening .
Secondly i still do not know why mails do not download on manual mode also when you go to" send receive now "..I have noticed that mails do come into some of my accounts when I am connected to the net and simultaneously mail is being sent . I have tested this more than once in my office . Otherwise push mail does not work . This seems to be a serious bug .This means push mail is a flop. Further there seems to be some peculiar issue with yahoo mail .This is an issue I have for a long time . I also feel after a while whole thing gets coorupted and perhas this is the reason why e mail system stops working .
Thirdly and most annoying thing are the messages which keep pooping asking for password for different e mail account .Any one else having same issue ?
High nokia advises customers as to what they have done and what can be expected out of this system . If nokia mail system fails they will loose lot of ground to BB and apple and they can not survive selling only voice/message phones at exorbitant prices .

Yup, by TOS I meant terms-of-service
As far as I know the way it works is that (1) your phone maintains a connection with (one of the) Nokia servers, so that as soon as the Nokia server has anything to say (e.g. "new e-mail"), your phone gets it; and (2) the Nokia servers fetch your e-mails so that (1) can work.
Now, I don't know how (2) works. In theory the Nokia server should act like an IMAP client, and should be using IDLE in order to fetch the e-mails as soon as the server gets them.
I don't use Nokia Messaging anymore (I now prefer Profimail on my E75), but for some time I did research a bit on that topic, and noticed that the Nokia server was making an IMAP connection to my e-mails server (fastmail.fm) every 15min, i.e. not keeping it open permanently using IDLE. It may be that during those 15min sessions IDLE was used, and then the Nokia server simply decided to close and re-open the connection. That may sound illogical, but perhaps it's more reliable this way.
In any case, I was getting my e-mails on the phone instantly, i.e. the reconnection every 15min had no impact on the actual push delivery.
Apparently there are many people having problems with Nokia Messaging. I don't know if Gmail or Yahoo allow you to see a connection log, but if they do, please have a look and see if and how often a server from Nokia/Finland is connecting to your IMAP server.
Also, I would just in case log on on email.nokia.com and make sure that your account is active (the E72 should give you a lifetime subscription, but please double check).

Error when setup a new mailbox, nokia e72, pls hel...

I bought a Nokia E72 several days later. I really love it. I defined an Email mailbox for my company's Email. It is a POP3 mailbox. The mailbox worked well for some days, I can check, send Email using wireless LAN at home and my office.
Yesterday, I tried to edit my mailbox. As I selected the mailbox in order to change it, nothing happened. Because of that, I deleted it, then I tried to create a new one. But since then I can complete the malbox-setup task. After inserting the data, I select "save" to save the mailbox, there is a error: "error occurred in setup mailbox. Try again." I tried many time, but no success.
Someone can solve this problem? pls help!
Thanks

I have the same issue.

I have a new Nokia E72 UK edition and am with Orange UK network.
The voice mail notification icon in my E72 always shows in the bottom right of the screen even when I have no voice mail, and have deleted all the messages. This is really annoying, especially as for a while it worked fine.
I tried disabling voice mail notifications, switching the phone on and off, then enabling them again but still no joy.

This is quite a common problem on orange UK. It's actually oranges fault.
Some of the following things have been known to clear the fault:
Placing the sim into another non-orange unlocked phone, then checking the voicemail. When put back into the orange phone the icon has gone.
Calling customer services and requesting an over-the-air sim update, this nearly always solves it.
Calling or visiting an orange store and getting the sim card replaced.

Nokia N8 mail setup

Hi,
i tried to setup my mail account on the Nokia N8, it tries to configure the account but then there is an error: Service currently unavailable, try again later
I successfuly set up an other mail account.
I don't know what to do because i even don't get to the page where to set up the mail servers and so on.
I'm thankful for any help

hi,
it seems as the nokia mail setup on the N8 checks for an existing mailserver (or record in the dns system), which has to be in the same domain as the mail address. But my mailserver was in a different domain --> the setup failed
I then made a setup with a mail address, where the mailserver and the address are in the same domain and then edited all the settings to my other mail account (because afterwards you can edit mailservers and so on)
So the problem is solved

Nokia E72 - Set up Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo accoun...

I bought my E72 3 days ago and the first impression i got was disappointing.
The first action you do when switching on E72 for the first time is to set up your email accounts.
Remember, E72 is Nokia's top email phone!!!
I chose hotmail. I enter my email account and then my password as requested.
And the next screen i get is nothing but the previous one!!!
The same happens with Yahoo accounts.
I found a way to work around the crash and set up my account through the "other" tab available on the wizard.
I am really disappointed that i have changed my beloved E71, to get an even more proffessional solution that in the end needs a total update to set up our emails.
There must be a solution in the next software upgrade and must be installed for free in all Nokia's stores.

Hotmail stopped working for Nokia E72

Hi,
Got an E72 last week and went throug the e-mail setup and added a hotmail account and it worked fine.
After three days or so the e-mails just stopped coming into the phone. When I checked my hotmail account on my PC I found a lot of new mails.
I tried to delete the account and add it again. The result is an empty inbox. When I try to sync It says that it is connected to hotmail and that it is updating but I don´t get any e-mails to the phone.
Any ideas what could have happend and how to solve this.
I think I have changed all the settings and tried everyting and read a lot of threads on diffrent forums but I can´t find an answer.
/CF

Hello. Bought my first nokia phone for 9 days and already has several problems. Starting with what is most urgent. Already after 3-4 days disappeared suddenly able to receive mail from my hotmail account, but luckily came back later in the day! So on Friday I got an email from nokia with the text below. I have accordingly made the following (but without result).
First I tried to follow the recipe that is in the mail as described below. I first went into hotmail via my computer and changed the password. Then I went into settings on the phone and changed the password there without success.
Then I tried to go into the settings in the phone and reset phone to factory mode 3-4 times then use the built-in wizard to configure my hotmail account and wait for the result without success.
I receive e-mails that are written below in Norwegian every day. When I go into the e-mail on mobile phone brings up the yellow / green circle in the corner which I interpret as if everything is ok with connecting to hotmail. But that is not receiving e-mail. Anybody can help me? Preferably by using the internal e-mail program.
Dear nokia messaging client
For security reasons, Microsoft requires that you change your password with 365-day intervals for Windows Live Hotmail account. Once this is done you will again be able to receive e-mails.
Go to Options-Settings-Settings of the mailbox - Password and enter the password again. E-mail delivery to your phone will be resumed shortly thereafter.
Sincerely Yours,
Nokia Messaging team.

Nokia E72 with no hotmail connection

Hi,
I have a nokia e72 and I want to delete the two hotmail mailboxes on my phone because they do not work since january 27 2011. Why no idea. Now I want to delete them but I cann't because I have no connection. The phone says, you need to have connection first before deleting? Can anybody help?
I also need to setup my hotmail.com connection again. Can anybody have an idea what the new mail server are or are they still the same and what are the exact settings. Because I changed so much on my phone. I think I do not have the right settings anymore.
I run 052.005 software on my phone.

Try these settings: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/4026-nokia-n97-configure-your-email#hotmail-account-settings It's the same I have except for the accespoint of course.
Pop3 port should be 995
smtp should be 25.
Check what the default is first and try both if they aren't the same.
If that does not work, it might be that your ISP has blocked a port.
Take a look here too and see if you can get it going again:http://techblissonline.com/hotmail-pop3-and-smtp-settings/

Nokia e72 email with low battery

Hi i have a nokia e72 with two mail boxes.
I want to have the mailboxes always connected, but i cant find the option to stays connected with low battery.
In my previous phone (nokia e71) i have this option,
any help?

Hi XPTO,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
When you go to Menu > Email > Settings > Select the email account > When to Sync, you will be able to set the sync interval. There's currently no option in the E72 to keep the phone connected to the internet when the battery is low, so the email account will not be synced in such a situation. This is to make sure the battery will last as long as possible.

Nokia E72 encryption & OVI Maps

Hi,
I have two issues about the E72:
1. My E72 came with a 4GB microSD card with OVI Maps installed on it. Unfortunately there are only 1023 MB free out of 4GB, so I planned to buy a bigger card. I would like toi know if I can simply copy all the data from the opriginal 4GB card to the new one? Will the applications still work?
2. If I enable phone memory encryption in my phone, some applications stop working, i.e. OVI Maps does not work anymore, OVI Store stops working. I have to disable the phone memory encryption in order applications restart working. Is there a way to havbe phone memory enabled and still have the applications working fine?
Thanks.

I did stop using encryption as there is a slight loss of speed and overall I concluded that it was not really safe since people could access my data without knowing the lock code. (a probable exploit scenario using Voyager Home screen). I mentioned that in another post (no one seemed to worry).
As far as I can tell, in that setup encryption is useless and ends up being annoying (because Nokia forced a maximum of 20 minute time-out for the lock in that case, meaning that it auto-locks sometimes when not handy.... while navigating in the car, listening to audiobooks, etc).

Going to reply to my own post saying that the annoying 20 minute limit for auto-lock when encryption is still enforced in the new firmware released this week (051).
If you are using encryption, it is not possible to have it set to higher values.
I'm re-encrypting my E72 (ram and card) to see how it performs now. Maybe it still crashes some apps when it auto-locks, making it useless for instance for trips while GPS navigating.
Will need to test to see if it is still possible to bypass the mem+card encryption code using JBakTaskman/Voyager Home as it was before... but I bet they didn't fix it.
Lame Nokia, lame... strong encryption still not useful.

Need help on Nokia e72

Hi,
I bought a Nokia e72 two weeks back. Dont have much problems with it. Its a great phone The only problem i see here is with battery life. Before the phone release it was said that the phone will have 11hr of battery back on call. I was expecting the baterry to stand for 3+ days with normal usage, but i am really disappointed by nokia it hardly goes for 2+ days.
Any one have any trick to make the battery stay longer or any way to handle the phone which will keep the battery well. The second problem i see with phone is the GPS does not seem to be working. but when i use some external application that uses gps, it works. I am using google maps which works awesome.
I will keep posting for any new problem encountered.
One more big queestion is that , when the new firmware will get released, how do we install it on phone, do we loose data on phone, do we loose any functionality ?
Can a firmware resolve the battery issue??
anyways. a little help from me.
I found a nice site where we have many free awesome softwares for nokia e71. www.getjar.com
every possible software is available here. just set your phone model, and the site will have everything compatible to the phone. Nice web site, I really liked it
Some one please help with battery issue
Thanks,Chanchal Singh

WLAN uses less power than 3G on most phones and particularly on the E72 which has a great autonomy with WLAN.
Here's the official spec:
- GSM 12 h 30 min
- WCDMA 5 h 54 min
- VoIP 13 h 42 min
(VoIP uses WLAN)
The problem is however that the phone does not always close the 3G connection when you come under the WLAN connection. I then have to do this manually otherwise it drains the battery.
hint: if you don't always need the speed of 3G (like if you only use email for ex) you can set your phone to use EDGE/GPRS instead. That's how I survive a full day of push mail on other devices that don't have that great BP-4L 1500 mA battery of the Eseries. Control Panel -> Settings -> Phone -> Network -> GSM (instead of Dual mode)
Really? That's very strange. When I text chat with Nimbuzz over WLAN my battery seems to go down much quicker than
when I do the same over 3G. I suppose it could be something in the way Nimbuzz handles the connection/data.

I do this all the time and I don't get why there's no automatic management or at least preference-setting per application for this. When text chatting I really don't need the 3G. Only really for voice chat or internet or something like that. It seems to me phones could last for days longer if there was a clever way of managing this. Certainly my E51 used to drain in a little over a day with the 3G on, while it easily lasted 3 days without. It seems a really easy way to blow the competition to bits if you can have smart power/connection management.
